Kate,
Try:
Leiserowitz, Anthony A., Robert W. Kates, and Thomas M. Parris. 2006.
Sustainability values, attitudes, and behaviors: a review of
multinational and global trends. Annual Review of Environment and
Resources 31:413-444 (November).
Or anything else by Tony Leiserowitz (btw, the first Envl Studies PhD to
come out of the University of Oregon's program).  Now at Yale, he is
doing really great research on these issues, that build on the
foundation laid by people like Inglehardt.  Also, for data on public
opinion, some of the Eurobarometer stuff can be pretty useful.

Dear Gep-Eders, 

I am wondering if there is any literature out there on public opinion
and the global environment? This might mean on either national studies
of opinion on global issues, such as climate change, or what the "global
public" thinks about the environment, or indeed if public approval is
even a goal of global environmental governance. (I suppose I am also
looking for studies of democracy and global governance, though I do have
a thin pile of articles on that subject which I am gearing up to look
through)

Thank you - and I shall compile a list of responses for the list!

Kate

World Public Opinion.org has done several international opinion polls on 
climate change.
